ST. PAUL’S, LONDON. A fine Case by Grinling Gibbons, the
design is exceptional for one of Father Smith’s
instruments _Frontispiece_.

ST. LAWRENCE, JEWRY, LONDON. One of Harris’s Organs, of
nearly perfect design, according to the old French rules.
Since I sketched this Organ, it has been rebuilt, and the
Case much enlarged in the same style 10–11

ST. MAGNUS THE MARTYR, LONDON BRIDGE. A good Case of
peculiar design. This instrument is remarkable as one of

ST. WOLFRAM, ABBEVILLE. A good specimen of a French
Renaissance Organ Case 12–17

four similar flats in the Great Organ are a blemish 12–17

which is perhaps the best in Belgium 18–21

18–21

pattern 22–24

is damaged by being painted 22–24

Cases in Europe 22–24

ST. LAWRENCE, ROTTERDAM. A very fine Dutch Case, in a
sober style 22–24
